Lorain board member settles defamation suit with district attorney
Lorain City School District board member Jim Smith reached a settlement with attorney Anthony Giardini to drop the defamation action. Both sides agree Smith did not commit criminal acts or breach duties and Giardini’s actions aimed to protect the district. Giardini will donate 1000 to the district endowment fund. The 2014 Admiral King Elementary closure stemmed from a natural gas leak from a well drilled in 1956. Emerald Environmental disputes the district’s blame. The district has ongoing legal actions related to public meetings law and a separate suit against fellow board members.
